ESP32 Forum

Hello,

This is my first time using an ESP32 with Arduino IDE, and I keep getting the following error; Error compiling for board DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1.

Steps I've done so far;

• Added board manager URL https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp ... index.json
• Installed board manager v1.0.3-rc3
• Selected the board type for my board (DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1) AFAIK is right
• Selected the port
• Added in an example code below

The first time I tried it, it compiled correctly, started uploading until it said connecting, I pressed EN, but it timed out. Since then it just gives this error when I try to compile or upload. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting the board, and restarting the IDE.

When I restart the IDDE I can compile correctly, but when I then click upload I get Error compiling for board DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Chris

Hi, what is the error message that you're receiving?

The error in the Arduiono IDE is "Error compiling for board DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1."
